Long before he revolutionised the genre with classics such as A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and SCREAM, Wes Craven was cutting his teeth as the master of
horror with this post-Texas Chainsaw Massacre style satire of the love generation's descent into Manson family style terror. Skilfully blurring the line between comedy and horror throughout - and frankly, the physical sensation of the two is often too close for comfort - this film marked Craven as a filmmaker with his finger on the pulse, and bastion of a new generation of horror filmmakers that included John Carpenter, Joe Dante and Tobe Hooper.
With the imminent release of the remake, Cube offers you a free screening of the 1977 shlock horror original. Special thanks to Anchor Bay for their assistance with this show.
